Anna wrote that Volodymyr Zelensky described Trump's diesel deal with Putin as a "weak decision by strong partners." While the Ukrainian delegation negotiates with US representatives in Florida for two days about at least one ceasefire, the US president, according to Anna's account, enables the Kremlin to earn additional revenues. As the first step, the team discussed a ceasefire for energy facilities that would benefit Ukrainian families. Trump spoke with Putin and agreed that Russia could deliver 300,000 tons of diesel immediately, 500,000 tons in November, and then one million tons, Anna wrote. Zelensky said the deliveries would bring additional money for Russia's war against Ukraine – possibly "millions, billions." He criticized the approach as untrustworthy behavior among partners and stated that his team would be used as cover. #Ukraine #Waffenruhe #Trump (translated)

Snicklink proposed a kind of emergency brake for the Chancellor: As soon as his popularity falls below 10 percent, he should be replaced immediately. As possible successors, he mentioned in this order someone with a similar appearance, someone with a similar name, the "next biggest" team member, or a piece of lasagna. #Bundeskanzler #Politik #Beliebtheit (translated)

The cook wrote that Mathias Mogge had just returned from Gaza and had invited members of the Bundestag to listen to his experiences firsthand. However, no member had come.

U.M. OSINT announced that he had informed the responsible district association of Bündnis 90/Die Grünen about his departure from the party in the afternoon. He stated that he was left-liberal and had originally become a member because the Greens had become more liberal. However, he can no longer support the development of the party since the last legislative period, particularly its positioning on Palestine, left-wing extremism, and terrorism. He cited the concessions made by the Greens to Die Linke in Berlin as a decisive reason, which he described as vague and unsubstantial. He criticized the Greens for not demanding any concrete consequences, such as the resignation or expulsion of Koçak, the dissolution of the Neukölln Linke association, or the working group on Palestine solidarity. He referred to alleged connections of the group to terrorism apologists and possible links to the PFLP. U.M. OSINT accused the Greens of effectively granting amnesty to left-wing enemies of democracy and terrorism supporters for the sake of maintaining power. In his view, the party has thereby forfeited any right to demand other parties distance themselves from the AfD. He also criticized the SPD and predicted that for them, it would increasingly be about achieving double-digit results in upcoming elections. Furthermore, he criticized political compromises made to maintain participation in government and warned of lasting damage to Berlin, particularly regarding investments and jobs. He stated that he no longer wants to disclose future party memberships publicly and expressed curiosity about the upcoming elections in Berlin and North Rhine-Westphalia. #Grüne #Politik #Deutschland (translated)

U.M. OSINT wrote that the dissolved pro-Palestinian demonstration had 850 participants and took place in a metropolis with nearly four million inhabitants. Greta Tintin Eleonora Ernman Thunberg also traveled specifically for the event. Referring to the waved flags of an Islamic state, red stars, and LGBTQ-related posters, U.M. OSINT doubted that the demonstration was solely about Palestine. In addition, the author rhetorically established a link to burning streets and emergency vehicles, burned teachers, injured police officers, and thousands of arrests. He pointed out what he described as a strikingly high number of participants of non-European ethnic backgrounds and questioned whether these events would be portrayed as a consequence of dilapidated schools and canceled Latin classes. In conclusion, he used derogatory language about the demonstrators and mocked Thunberg's name and height. #b0710 #Palästina #Demo #Gesellschaft (translated)

Nasruddin Amer reported that the Yemeni Foreign Ministry has accused Saudi Arabia of responsibility for the escalation in Bab al-Mandab. The ministry called on the international community to put pressure on Riyadh to fulfill its obligations to the Yemeni people, including lifting the blockade and ending the aggression, instead of igniting a war in the strait. According to the statement, Saudi Arabia has turned Bab al-Mandab into a battlefield, thereby jeopardizing shipping. The ministry accused the international community of responding with loud criticism to the expansion of Yemeni sovereignty along the west coast and in Bab al-Mandab, while ignoring Saudi activities there. These, according to the ministry, serve the interests of the USA and Israel. The ministry also stated that Yemen is adhering to its international obligations regarding maritime safety. The exercise of Yemeni sovereignty over its territory, coastlines, and territorial waters does not pose a threat to global trade but will make it safer. This statement was made after the ministry claimed to have pushed back Saudi troop deployments on the west coast. #Jemen #BabAlMandab #Schifffahrt (translated)
